Complete Build of Portable Rocket Mass Heater

Darwin has designed a custom, portable rocket mass stove. This heater goes together like an erector set and comes apart just as easily. It's custom mini mass. This heater can save you up to 80% on your heating bills. It is super efficient. This heater is beautiful and built completely from reclaimed and repurposed items. This rocket mass heater is Artistic one of a kind! This rocket mass heater is made with air crete, and is budget friendly, handmade, and better than a wood stove.
Hey guy's as promised here is the link to the better life challenge. I am so excited for you. Join us on next weeks live show for a huge announcement coming on the 19th of Feb. We love you all...

A fabricator's dream come true!

[@johnkilgallon207]

Thank you so much! Far out content!

[@reverands571]

That noise is so important to indicate the rising (rocket) air. Thank you.

[@Nestophallies]

Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle the three R's of survival. Sweet build!

[@craigconway4093]

Wow !!!

[@strandymusic]

Work of art... Very, very impressive!

[@50shadesofgreen]

SUPERB TO WATCH GUYS !!

[@trentarbeau8753]

That’s an amazing build of a rocket stove. Really appreciate all of the uses for Air Crete after watching y’all build the useful projects. Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing the next one.

[@leifhietala8074]

Insulated flue outside the house = smart. It keeps the draft going well even when you're pulling through the storage mass. Nice detail.

[@crazycoyote1738]

Great job!! And I was even more impressed with your down to earth, humble approach, despite your great knowledge. God bless you and your beautiful family!!

[@larryryan2097]

Straight up motivated!!! Love the way you present the information, tips and possibble ideas in layman's terms.

[@MamasDaughter47]

Oh my word!!!!! How AWESOME!

[@dudley269]

good job. Very good ideas. thank you.

[@dennyaudio]

Good work.

[@karendyment8977]

pretty cool & meticulous work, must be a perfectionist, great job!

[@johnhoward3271]

THAT was AWESOME !!!!

[@juliehenderson1672]

Awesome compilation! 😉

[@bennyhill3642]

You've put alot in that stove! Hope you get many years out of it!😇GOD Bless

[@RustyGlovebox]

Very nice job, worked great.

[@brianthompson4234]

Good job man. Love it

[@crypto6347]

Thank you for this info!!! very good indeed! Keep it up !

[@HaydenGatesOR]

Great to see an edited piece! I usually don't have time to watch the un-edited stuff. Keep it up!

[@chucktrent187]

Your humility is on par with Rob Avis. You two in the same room would cause a major disruption in the matrix.

[@christophermyers5169]

i am so excited to try this finally this summer, amazing work and innovation dear darwin!

[@davekauffman8727]

Love your little helper, he's adorable! I'm going to build something similar when the work on the roof and the bathroom and kitchen are finished, looks like a well-designed stove!

[@chuckywaggs7770]

Very impressive work! I knew early on in the video that this far beyond my ability but I just couldn't stop watching your work. Really cool design!

[@brianbower30]

Super cool man!!!

[@123suzukisamurai]

Nice

[@sportsworldcanal2956]

very nice

[@pandjnixon]

LEGEND !

[@kasimabbas7789]

good job

[@elenaolivares6965]

Awesome!!! good design and that water glass really works . . also that cutting tool you used is nice also for cutting steel.

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

Wow, cool camera shots in this one

[@zoitechniki2455]

Very good work. I, wish and you and your family all the best.

[@scottstockle3772]

Very nice work. You made that look easy, but there was obviously a whole lot of time and skill that went into that build, from the design to all of the hands on work that you did. Amazing job!

[@dudebroham4083]

Awesome build. You might want to give it its own air source from outside because if you don't it's going to create a vacuum in that room and suck in cold air from outside from every crack and crevice.

[@inmyopinion6836]

Air creet , this is what I've been hunting ! You got the jump on me , but we are thinking the same thing , MORE , BIGGGER , BETTER ! LOL great show !

[@bobbrawley2612]

Exciting project for sure. For the life if me I cant cut a straight line around a barrel like you did . To make the cut to separate the air tank or the outer barrel I try to make my cut parallel to the factory weld seam but wether I'm felt tip drawing or grinding it by the time I get to the start end the cut is off by 1/4 inch. You did a nice hinge . One of the best on youtube What our host is doing at the 15 : 12 time mark is a nifty way using readily available stove pipe . I used a tractor trailer truck muffler which is about 10 inches diagonally. With the inner pipe about 6 inches . So cutting out the inner pipe gave me a 10 inch pipe with a 6 inch hole on either end to insert a 6 inch stove pipe in . But who's got a big truck muffler laying around . I like our host way, better That directional glue device to direct the glue gases to the bench heat sink is cool I like the fact that you have had sucess with a large batch fire box like two feet long before it hit the air riser . I made mine so combustion take place within in inches of riser requiring constance feeding

[@luistiago5121]

This guy is an artist.

[@user-eo8pl2um4x]

👍wonderful

[@libbybaker6890]

I really liked this! Your knowledge and skill is far above most people doing DIY video, which was great, but I enjoyed most seeing how you are involving your kids and passing those skills on- that's the way to teach the future generation.

[@garygriffin3114]

You and your aircrete wow watching you hold aircrete in your hand and torching it. Thank you for the video.

[@offline1114]

Brilliant work!!! Thinking outside "the box" can be a good thing!!! So many good ideas in one place too!!! AMAZING how you can start that design up so quickly and the draw is estabished instantaneously!!! Excellent engineering!!! Thanks!!! (now subbed)

[@JanColdwater]

ABSOLUTELY GENIUS! I have always loved the Homewood Wood Cook Stoves and since the Rocket stoves, and watching your genius, I am just waiting for the creation of a beautiful, Iron Wood Rocket Cook Stove to be invented. One that heats the home, the homes water with a fire view glass door. I hope it is in my lifetime! Get cracking genius! LOL 😂

[@arkangel8709]

Hello Jan coldwater" I Couldn't help but to read you're Comment,. I just want To say" That, If you know what you really want to have in a wood cook stove, Then you should,(get cracking) You're self.!!! LOLOLOLOLOL AND Just BUILD it.!! LOL 🤔 OR IF YOU ARE Not able to do it, you're self, why not make some drawings, or Sketches, of what you're Wanting. That way SOME ONE WILL have time to give it a go. "Of course" it will be different from the house you live in, but have the same features. But it goes without saying" That we all should do whatever we can" to Contribute to the Rocket stove projects.!! Good LUCK,!!! & Best wishes.!! Ark Angel

[@phrayzar]

Dude, you are pretty sold on your own incredibleness ;)

[@JamesWhite-si3xi]

Hello. Great build very genus, love the 'out the window' thing but doesn't look too portable to me. I built my own rocket stove 5 yrs ago and have been using it as my only heat for winter ever since. I used a horse water trough and built my burn area in there out of firebrick and covered it all with thick layer of cob. I got it up on cinder blocks w heat resistant pad underneath and you know heat rises so I could have this on a nice solid wooden dolly w wheels and it would actually roll. Perhaps a smaller version for Bobhouses and garage heater could be built and I love that window vent stuff. Also one does not need the 'bench' to have an effective rocket stove working wonderfully. Great video, wish I had your building skills. Best of luck. Peace.

[@richardarmitage1325]

Won't the mild steel just burn out, seen others where the steel completely fails, kinda put me off a really good idea, I would think lining the burn chamber and lower flue is needed with some kind of refractory product or replacement liner. These stoves will reach very high temperatures in order to clean burn and so ultimately the steel will flake and crumble

[@aftonblau2615]

Will You have plans for the rocket stove avaiable and i would be interested in a faq tip sheet on making aircrete blocks for building with.

[@shearwatersoil1]

I like these videos and the fact that you are a family man that includes your wife and kids in your projects . . . a great learning experience for them! Am wondering if the secondary air inlets are large enough to get a more complete burn . . . also if the secondary air where the vortex is formed could be preheated.

[@bobbrua8758]

excellent video how do you mix the pipe insulation? ingridents thanx bob

[@billwoehl3051]

A few years late, but, one thing about when hot gasses are forced down, they're also forced to release heat faster. I've also forced my exhaust from the bell a couple feet down, then, instead of a bench, the heat is drawn through a base that will have a 55 galllon drum setting sideways in it, and full of water for the thermal battery, and on top of that barrel, will be 2 more, water stores something like 8 times the BTU's as cobb or concrete.

[@carlosextromolo3753]

If you make a lot of these I highly suggest you get an everlast plasma cutter. It would make short work of your cuts. I love the materials you used and the design. I'm a fan.

[@illumintent]

Just so you know, for the next one, add a coil of copper around the drum to heat the water collected from the rain that passes through active charcoal-filled gutters ;) If you have a heated tin roof added the snow will melt.

[@AkumaQiu]

Holy shit that was epic

[@richardferster8049]

So, very interesting, how warm did the bench get and how long to achieve the temperature? You three are masters, Great job, all.

[@user-zx5rq1rd2g]

Wow!! You So very nice

[@tommi52]

Rocket stoves and aircrete buildings will help the people in Africa,

[@justingibbons5559]

Ok HDC just wanted to shout out that this is my favorite video you guys have done so far. I'm originally from Utah so not too far and stumbled upon your channel when I was studying rocket mass heaters. Your channel is a little unconventional but I can tell your editing techniques are improving. You seem to be surrounded by friends who are into the DIY off grid eco-friendly arena and I found it coincidental that what you guys are doing is what I've really been putting time into studying. Anywhere from earthships, aircrete dome homes, log cabin builds, rocket stoves, rocket mass heaters, pizza ovens, etc. I'm curious if you guys are doing this for motivational purposes or whether you are looking for passive income from youtube or maybe influence trading such as getting free products and giving reviews. I'm curious if you feel whether the business side of things will spoil your intentions or not? Anyways I hope you guys are having fun I am enjoying watching your channel. Thanks Always - J -

[@brianrundle2875]

Darwin you are a talented guy. It would be much better if you explained what you were doing as you did it and what part you were working on, I was pretty lost trying to understand what you were doing and why. Other rocket mass wood stove people have indicated that steel will fail as temperatures can reach into the 2000oF. What do you think? Also the mass being river rock means lots of air space between the pebbles kind of like insulation, don't you want dense solid mass that conducts heat and holds it like cobb or some kind of dense matter. I understand being able to move it is an issue. Thanks for sharing your project...

[@walterforsiethe2567]

I've got more metal that I can repurpose than I know what to do with. I really want to put my everlast welder to good use and this project really interests me.

[@victoryfirst2878]

What is the purpose of water glass Honey do carpenter ???? Thanks

[@arkangel8709]

This is awesome, I really admire you, for all the Hard work, ya, put in to that, build,.!! You're SO, Cool, and Smart" you remind me of someone, I see every morning, when I look into the mirror. LoL 😆😆 But All, jokes aside" You're a very special person, My friend.... I think 🤔🤔 you Are The ( air - Creet scientist )!!!!!

[@yxcvmk]

Great build! I did not sere a secondary air...? Did you build the stove with primary only? If so and it works: Great! Otherwise: Where is the secondary?

[@cangrejojeringa]

He escaped NASA?, what a genius!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stephenbeck6410]

Very nice! Any chance you would be willing to share some design illustrations with measurements so a person could repeat what you’ve done?

[@sphillips6357]

I really wish you had some explanation as to why you were doing some of the things you were doing and how it works. I've watched a lot of DIY wood stoves and barrel stove conversions but I have almost no idea how your stove works . . . I have so many questions I don't know where to begin.

[@offline1114]

Gifted, blessed, and doing good works with others. Someone must be taking their Bibles seriously over there. Blessings on each and every!!! HE is coming again to make all things right on HIS earth!!! AMEN. HE said, "Occupy till I come....." and so we do..... : ) Very happy to have subscribed!!!

[@larryryan2097]

Would adding fiberglass allow for better strength?

[@missrzhrtjennieruthdelurey2908]

I always wondered how the AirCrete would work in conjunction with a Tiny House on Wheels.

[@thedesertangelhomestead9981]

Does the stovepipe have to go out of a window or can you put it through a hole in the wall of your tinyhouse like say you would a pellet stove pipe in a regular house.???

[@truetech4158]

You know, people toss out a lot of propane tanks, water pressure tanks, water heaters, so these components of freedom can be practically found at curbs and junk yards. I should try this before winter, after the broken hand heals first lol. Have a 3in1 3ft sheet metal machine, cuts, is a brake and does folds, and rolls, so its a 4in1 machine. And that aircrete, if the air is replaced with helium, it would save on not having to install wall mounting brackets. Ok maybe not, however airecrete is lightweight. #RedesignEverything

[@bbruuse]

Extreme Cold Warning Southern Saskatchewan 26 mins ago - Environment Canada At 8 a.m. Meadow Lake reported a temperature of -43, which combined with a wind of 11 km/h gave a wind chill of -55 ... I guess I'll just stay inside

[@ProlificInvention]

*Honey Do Carpenter* What a great build, I appreciate your skill more than most. Best designed and built rocket stove I have seen. Do you think I could use an external tank with a flo-jet air pump to supply my 1/40 Dawn dish soap foam agent to a foam producing head (tube with stainless steel scrubbers and airsoft bb's) It's all car wash foam equipment, I just want to use needle valves to control the air and soap mix. I saw a video where you made an external tank like that and just had 2 lines running, I just wasn't sure how you used and controlled the air pressure to pump the soap and get the proper air flow. I may need to go back and watch the shed panel video to answer my own question. Any input from you or your viewers is always helpful. Thank you again, keep the videos coming!

[@daisycorta3340]

No

[@bradheal2697]

What kind of tin snips do you use?

[@HomsteadingThePioneerWay]

I would love a rocket stove, but my tiny house is only 12x20, and a 2ft wood stove is the only way to cook and heat the house, do you have a smaller rocket stove that you can cook on?

[@mpgtrikes]

What are you doing for a condensate trap? You can significantly increase combustion efficiency even beyond 100% to near 115% by retrieving the latent heat energy of vaporization from the woods moisture content AND HYDROGEN content (wood is a HYDROcarbon!). If you condense it to the maximum by preheating cold outdoor intake air. But you have to collect the acidic condensation in a drip bucket. The condensate can be sold as real liquid smoke! Or dried to tar and used for a fire starter!

[@gbsk12]

Hoow does this compare to a Blaze King in efficiency?

[@TheJustonemore]

Could u use sand?

[@melinda5777]

How or where do you get the water glass?

[@nwbudro9210]

Would have been nice to see a diagram of the workings before jumping in to building it. You said numerous times how unique the design is, but didn't really describe what makes it unique and the unique features are better.

[@wobdeehomestead1464]

Has the chimney pipe rusted?

[@pucketts57]

Do you think that a Harbor Freight welder would be sufficient for the welding you do or should I look for a higher grade model

[@HoneyDoCarpenter]

If you have the funds go for it. I used a harbor freight one for a long time just to get by

Could aircrete be used as floatation in a steel pontoon/raft as floatation/bouyancy instead of styrofoam floatation? Thanks, Ray.

[@richardmccann4815]

It could, but stryo is much lighter, and aircrete might absorb water, and has little structural strength. Unless you were building a boat to be floating on a lake of fire! Lol!

[@donaldorlopp6798]

Would you ever consider building these for people to purchase?

[@HoneyDoCarpenter]

yes, stay tuned

[@victoryfirst2878]

What you are talking about with a two foot down exhaust is very similar to a oil or kerosene fired (Depends on the nozzle type) Dynabrade oil fired hot water boiler design that is just as old as the Titanic. I am certain if you would study the boiler design you will be able to make the absolute best rocket stove on KZbin for sure. Please check out what I am talking about and you will surprise yourself Honey Do Carpenter. Look forward to hearing from you soon.
